“When you are shooting in the ocean, your open water knowledge is as essential as your photographic skills you quickly realise how insignificant you are with that amount of water moving around you, and the biggest breakthrough comes when you learn to become part of the ocean and work with it, rather than against it. I have been lucky enough to shoot in some of the most testing waves in the world, and to be taught by some of the most experienced watermen."Lucia Griggi

Benefit from Lucia’s professional technical guidance.

Focus on surf photography both in and out of the water.

Understand how to edit, image enhance, manage files and present work to your clients.

Your investment in equipment, which lenses and camera bodies to buy that are specific to the surf industry.

Rates for the surf industry.

Developing story ideas and interviewing.

Requirements for the course involve 8 images (jpg) of recent work that must be submitted for review upon application before April 1st. On the day of the course these images must be brought along. Processed imagery is fine but bring the unedited version along too. We are reviewing applicant work to help you understand your own photos and how to enhance them for publishing quality.

“Running these courses with FOX is my opportunity to pass on this experience and show my students how to be safe in the water, to understand how a wave breaks in different environments both above and below the water, and of course how to be in the right place at the right time for that perfect shot!”Lucia Griggi

Students must bring their own DSLR camera, a laptop with photo software installed, storage media and other equipment (cord, thumb drive, card reader, etc.) for transferring images from camera to computer.

Overall, these courses are designed for students that can expect to learn what they need to really take their photography to the next level. They are for beginner and intermediate levels.
